DEACONS LEARN CARDIO PULMONARY RESUSCITATION (CPR)
The well
established Father Muller Charitable Institutions Simulation and Skills Center
witnessed the yearning of the Deacons of the St Joseph Inter Diocesan Seminary
to help save lives on July 8, 2019. 32
deacons studying in the seminary along with their Rector, Rev. Fr Ronald
Serrao, made a visit to the campus to learn the life saving technique of CPR.
During the inaugural, Fr Ronald Serrao, who was also the chief guest, mentioned
to have learnt of the training provided in basic life support at the simulation
center to people far and wide by the Administrator of the Father Muller Medical
College, Rev Fr Ajith Menezes. He was amazed, to have known that a number of
short modules were not only held for the
medical and para medical staff but also for the common man on how to save a life
when cardiac arrest occurs, an injury or on drowning and also to provide first
aid. The Director, Rev Fr Richard A Coelho of Father Muller Charitable
Institutions in his address told the young deacons that the value of Christian
faith is not only to save life in sickness but ensure life to be saved from the
womb. The director was very pleased of this initiative taken by the Rector to
impart life saving knowledge to his deacons and appraised him of the
advancements at the institution. The Director also mentioned that the
Simulation and Skills Center was the best in South India, with many Deans of
prestigious Medical Colleges and numerous faculty and students of the medical
fraternity enhancing their skills and knowledge through the life like models
and scenarios presented during training. Moreover, he said that the Rajiv
Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore, has recognised this center as
a center of excellence in imparting education, with ACLS, BLS programmes. The
money put in by the institution has borne beautiful fruits through this center and
through the hard work of Dr Rithesh and Dr Lulu. To sum up he said that the deacon’s
life should be of service and bear fruit through the teachings of Christ. He
welcomed them at the institution and to make best of the facility provided.
